I have the 1988 BS here, but no sign of any amendment. Nothing on the technical indexes, or on BSI, or on google to hint that such an amendment took place.

Where did you get this from - perhaps it was a slip up and they meant the 2002 edition for which there is an AMD1

I have BS 5839-1 -1988 Incorporating Amendment Nos. 1, 2 and 3 so assume there must have been Amendment 1. But what is your query?
All my responses only apply to England and Wales and they are an overview of the subject, hopefully it will point you in the right direction and always treat with caution.

There were a few amendments to 88... I think short circuit protection ie. fitting resistors to call points came in as an amendment, and detector head removal monitoring was also an amendment....

.....however I am another year older now and the oldest brain cells are definately dropping off.....

Galeon,  I have the 1988 version, and, funnily enough, have just arranged for a client to be furnished with a copy that includes am 1 and am 2, it was  later reprinted with am 3. Am 1 was a slip, not a reprint.
If you give me an auntie nell on the old dog and bone tomorra, I can maybe give you the gen on it. Be careful on the vincent price while the current brass monkeys are in urgent need of welders.
